Chapter 205: Thirteen Arrows Shoot in the Sky

"My third brother and I guarantee that Murong Fu's life will not be in danger."

Chu Yuan thought about it and said.

Murong Fu has never done anything bad except that he is wholeheartedly thinking about restoring his country. People even just gave him the maid A-Bi, so he has to help her no matter what.

But in Chu Yuan's opinion, there was no need for him and Duan Yu to plead for mercy, as Qiao Feng would not kill Murong Fu.

Just as what Qiao Feng said just now, every wrong has its perpetrator and the real evil doer is his father Murong Bo.

"Thank you, Master Duan, Master Chu!"

"Thank you, Master Duan, Brother Chu."

Wang Yuyan and Azhu thank you.

"Xuan Ci, you mentioned Ye Erniang, with whom you had a brief affair. What about your son? Where is he now?"

Xiao Yuanshan, who was fighting with Murong Bo, took the time to shout to Xuan Ci who was not far away.

When Xuan Ci heard what Xiao Yuanshan said, he saw that some of the heroes in the martial arts world were looking at him. He hesitated and resisted the urge to look at Xu Zhu behind him.

If possible, he really didn't want to involve Xu Zhu in this matter.

He has committed many serious mistakes and sins one after another. From now on, he must die to atone for his sins. If Xu Zhu's identity is exposed, he will be left alone in Shaolin Temple and will probably be bullied by other disciples.

However, he didn't want to involve Xu Zhu in this matter, but Xiao Yuanshan didn't think so.

"The child you and Ye Erniang gave birth to must be the little monk who just stood behind you and walked out with you!"

"Haha, I forgot to tell you that I stole your child from Ye Erniang and sent him to Shaolin Temple. You killed my wife and separated me from my son Xiao Feng. I will also let you and Ye Erniang experience the feeling of being separated from your own flesh and blood and not being able to recognize each other."

While fighting with Murong Bo, Xiao Yuanshan laughed and told the identity of Xu Zhu without any hesitation.

Xu Zhu, who suffered an unexpected disaster, was looked at with astonishment by other people and his fellow disciples. His eyes were full of disbelief and thoughts of escape.

He had never even thought that his parents were the Shaolin abbot Xuanci and the "evil-doer" Ye Erniang, whom he had seen die in front of him on Leigushan Mountain.

He respected Abbot Xuanci very much and did not want Xuanci's reputation to be damaged due to the slander of others.

He pointed at Xiao Yuanshan and shouted, "Impossible, you are mistaken. How could my father be the abbot? You must be lying!"

Xu Zhu was a little out of control, his eyes were red when he spoke!

If his father was the abbot Xuanci of Shaolin Temple and his mother was Ye Erniang, then when he was on Leigushan Mountain, he saw his mother die in front of him with his own eyes, and he even applauded for it, which can be called unfilial.

Xiao Yuanshan used the "Powerful Vajra Palm", which was so powerful that it could break anything. His Qi could shatter bluestone. After knocking Murong Bo away with one palm, he turned to Xu Zhu and said, "Little monk, you will know if you ask your father. He recognized you a long time ago, but he was always worried about his reputation and didn't dare to recognize you. Don't you hate him?"

While Xiao Yuanshan was speaking, Murong Bo had already flown in front of Xiao Yuanshan. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes: "You dare to be distracted while fighting with me?"

The two men fought again, their fists like spears and their feet like halberds. When they touched each other, there was a sound of collision only made by weapons. The aftermath of the palm collision spread like a gust of wind, blowing the bodies of the people watching the fight toppling over and over.

It can be seen that the martial arts of these two people have reached the pinnacle in the world.

Xu Zhu walked down the stone steps, came to Xuan Ci, knelt on the ground and said: "Abbot, please tell me, is what the old gentleman said true?"

Xuan Ci looked at Xu Zhu who was kneeling in front of him, and a hint of kindness flashed in his eyes.

Xuan Ci admitted: "What Mr. Xiao said is indeed true. In fact, I recognized it was you a long time ago, but because I was concerned about my own reputation, I really didn't dare to recognize you. I hope you don't hate me."

Since Xiao Yuanshan has revealed the truth in front of everyone, it will be useless for him to deny it.

And if nothing unexpected happens, this will be his first and last time recognizing Xu Zhu.

Xu Zhu, who was originally reluctant to accept the reality, panicked when he heard Xuan Ci admit it himself. He didn't expect that Abbot Xuan Ci was actually his biological father.

Xu Zhu couldn't believe it and said, "But, why..."

Xuan Ci reached out his hand and helped Xu Zhu up, saying, "You sowed evil seeds in the past, and you are reaping the evil consequences today. Everything that happened to you and your mother was caused by me. I am also largely responsible for the evil things your mother did."

After Xuan Ci finished speaking, he looked at Xuan Ku who was not far away and said, "Brother Xuan Ku, if a Shaolin disciple does not abide by the rules and regulations and violates the precepts of lust, how should we deal with him?"

Xuan Ku hesitated for a moment and said, "According to the Shaolin Temple rules, he should be punished with fifty strokes of the cane and expelled from the temple."

Xuan Ci asked again: "How should we deal with Shaolin disciples who indulge their relatives and friends and help the tyrants to commit evil deeds?"

Xuan Ku said: "According to the Shaolin Temple rules, he should be caned 100 times and face the wall for ten years."

Xuan Ci said, "As the abbot of Shaolin, I should set an example. However, I know that if you break the precepts, the punishment will be doubled. You should be punished with 300 strokes of the cane. The martial monks of the Discipline Hall will enforce the law."

After saying that, Xuan Ci took off his cassock and upper body monk robe, knelt in front of the plaque of Shaolin Temple, facing the plaque of Shaolin Temple, as if he was confessing.

When the monks from Shaolin Temple heard Xuanci ordering them to step forward and enforce the law, they all looked at each other, and no one dared to step forward and take action!
Seeing that no one came forward, Xuan Ci turned around and looked at Xuan Ku and said, "Junior brother, do you want my Shaolin Temple's thousand-year reputation to be ruined just because of me?"

Before leaving Shaolin Temple, Xuan Ku, who had been designated by Xuan Ci as the next abbot of Shaolin Temple, trembled in his voice. He finally said in a deep voice: "Execute."

Upon hearing Xuan Ku's order, two young monks from the Shaolin Discipline Hall immediately came behind Xuan Ci, holding two seven-foot-long wooden execution sticks that were as thick as an adult's arm and flat on the top and round on the bottom.

"Fight. I am still the abbot of Shaolin Temple. I order you not to hold back and fight with all your might."

Seeing the two young monks walking up behind him but still not daring to take action, obviously intimidated by their status as Shaolin abbot, Xuan Ci gave the order.

After receiving Xuan Ci's order, the two men looked at each other, and finally raised the wooden sticks in their hands and took turns hitting Xuan Ci's back.

It can be seen that the two monks did not hold back, and Xuanci did not use his internal force to protect himself. After only a few blows, Xuanci's back was already stained with blood!
This scene moved everyone.

After less than a hundred blows, Xuanci's back was already covered in blood and flesh.

"Don't... don't fight anymore."

Xu Zhu, who knew that Xuan Ci was his biological father, wanted to rush forward to stop him, but was stopped by Xuan Ku, who held him back and would not let him pass.

"Xu Zhu, don't you understand yet? Brother has already made up his mind to die. He wants to use his death to exchange for the thousand-year reputation of Shaolin Temple!"

Xuan Ku said to Xu Zhu.

Xu Zhu's eyes turned red and he wanted to cry, but he didn't have the habit of crying bitterly, especially in front of so many people.

He used to think that he had no parents and that he had been a disciple of Shaolin Temple since he was a child.

Only now did he realize that he had a father and a mother, but his mother was dead, and his father was about to die just after they met.

……

not far away.

The battle between Qiao Feng and Murong Fu has already been decided.

Qiao Feng used the "Dragon Fighting in the Wild" move from "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Subduing" to knock the sword out of Murong Fu's hand. Then he used the "Seeing the Dragon in the Sky" move to hit Murong Fu in the chest and knocked him away.

After barely fifty moves, Murong Fu was defeated by Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng bowed to Murong Fu, who had fallen to the ground, his hair was disheveled and his crown was knocked off, and he said, "Master Murong, admit it!"

Murong Fu saw that he was defeated so easily by Qiao Feng.

He said in disbelief: "Impossible."

"This Murong Fu's martial arts is too far behind that of Boss Qiao!"

"Yes, in the martial arts world, people say that Qiao Feng is in the north and Murong is in the south. Murong Fu is as famous as Boss Qiao, but Murong Fu was defeated by Boss Qiao in less than fifty moves. I think Murong Fu is not worthy of being on par with Boss Qiao."

"That's right. In terms of martial arts in the martial arts world today, I think only Young Master Chu Yuan can rival Boss Qiao."

After hearing his defeat and hearing the sneers and ridicules from the surrounding martial artists, Murong Fu became so angry that his eyes turned red.

He always thought highly of himself and compared himself with Qiao Feng and Chu Yuan. Who would have known that he couldn't even withstand fifty moves from Qiao Feng and was about to be defeated by Qiao Feng.

"I do not believe."

After the distraught Murong Fu came to his senses, he shouted and rushed towards his own sword, which had just been knocked away by Qiao Feng's palm and was stuck diagonally on the ground next to him.

He wanted to hold the sword and continue fighting with Qiao Feng.

When Qiao Feng saw this scene, his expression remained unchanged. He used the Dragon Capturing Skill and the telekinetic method to suck Murong Fu's sword into his own hand.

Murong Fu's sword turned into a sword shadow and fell into Qiao Feng's hands like a young swallow flying into his arms.

Then Qiao Feng used his inner strength to shake the sword in Murong Fu's hand, which was broken into several pieces of iron that fell to the ground one after another.

"Master Murong, I still have some things to deal with. I have already shown mercy. Please don't pester me anymore, otherwise don't blame me for being unreasonable."

After leaving these words, Qiao Feng walked towards Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo who were fighting not far away. He wanted to join forces with his father Xiao Yuanshan to get rid of Murong Bo and avenge his mother.

This scene dealt Murong Fu an even greater blow.

Wang Yuyan came over at this time and grabbed Murong Fu's arm, fearing that her cousin would attack Qiao Feng again. After angering Qiao Feng, he would kill her cousin.

A-Bi originally wanted to go over, but when she remembered that Murong Fu had already given her to Chu Yuan, and Chu Yuan had just torn up her indenture, and now she was free again and no longer Murong Fu's maid, she hesitated for a moment and did not go over.

"Waste!" Seeing that his son Murong Fu was defeated by Xiao Yuanshan's son Qiao Feng in just a few dozen moves, Murong Bo felt a little disappointed and cursed Murong Fu.

Murong Fu, who was originally being ridiculed by the martial artists around him and was in a daze, seemed to be completely desperate when he heard his father call him a waste. He looked at Qiao Feng who was walking towards Murong Bo and Xiao Yuanshan, his eyes full of hatred.

"Go away!"

Murong Fu pushed Wang Yuyan away.

He snatched the single-edged sword from Feng Bo'e, a nearby general, and slashed at the back of the unaware Qiao Feng.

"Son."

Feng Bo'eyan was a little anxious when he saw his weapon being snatched away, fearing that his young master might get into trouble.

"Brother Qiao, be careful."

Azhu, who was just struggling with the dilemma of whether to stand on Murong Fu's side or Qiao Feng's side after the former young master Murong Fu came into conflict with her future husband Qiao Feng, chose Qiao Feng without hesitation. Her expression changed and she reminded Qiao Feng.

"Brother, be careful!"

When Duan Yu saw this scene, his expression changed drastically and he reminded him.

Only Chu Yuan remained silent and reminded Qiao Feng.

Because he knew that Qiao Feng's martial arts was more than one level higher than Murong Fu's, and coupled with Qiao Feng's instinctive fighting intuition, Murong Fu could not launch a sneak attack on Qiao Feng at all.

When Qiao Feng heard the reminder from everyone and sensed the knife coming from behind, a cold look flashed in his eyes. He did not hold back and made a move that shocked hundreds of miles away. He pushed forward with both palms, and powerful palm force flew out, like the roar of a blue dragon, and hit Murong Fu's lower abdomen.

Murong Fu flew three or four feet away with his sword and hit the trunk of a cypress tree behind him. When he stood up with the sword in his hand, he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Thinking about how he had been defeated one after another by Qiao Feng today, even if he disregarded his face and launched a sneak attack, he would still be no match for Qiao Feng. In the future, he, Murong Fu, would become a complete laughing stock in the martial arts world. He was so excited that he fainted and fell to the ground.

Qiao Feng originally wanted to step forward and kill Murong Fu directly.

"Boss Qiao, my cousin was confused for a moment, please show mercy."

Wang Yuyan hurriedly walked up to Qiao Feng and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Let him fend for himself."

Thinking that Murong Fu no longer had the ability to fight, and considering the previous relationship between Murong Fu and Azhu as master and servant, Qiao Feng left after leaving a few words, ready to join the battle with his father Xiao Yuanshan to encircle and suppress Murong Bo.

Murong Bo saw that the situation was not good. He was about to be besieged by Xiao Yuanshan and Qiao Feng, father and son. Qiao Feng's martial arts was only slightly inferior to his and Xiao Yuanshan's. If he was besieged by the father and son, he would definitely not be their match.

He immediately made a feint and forced Xiao Yuanshan to retreat. Then he rose up from the ground, stepped on the shoulders and heads of several martial artists, flew higher and higher, passed the wall of Shaolin Temple, and went deep into the temple.

Seeing Murong Bo running away, Qiao Feng and Xiao Yuanshan immediately used their Qinggong skills to catch up, and soon the three of them disappeared from everyone's sight.

Just as Xiao Yuanshan, Murong Bo and Qiao Feng left, a sad voice was heard.

"Brother Abbot has passed away!"

Xuan Ku stood in front of Xuan Ci and reached out to feel Xuan Ku's stopped breathing.

The monks of Shaolin Temple all changed color when they heard this, especially the old monks in robes.

A moment later, a series of deafening bell sounds were heard in the Shaolin Temple.

After hearing Xuan Ku's words, Chu Yuan walked to Xuan Ci's side, only to see that Xuan Ci was still kneeling in front of the plaque of Shaolin Temple after his death, as if atonement for the wrong things he had done before.

Chu Yuan checked his external injuries and found that although his injuries were serious and blood was flowing down his body, staining the one-foot stone slab around his corpse red, he was not beaten to death by the two law enforcement disciples.

"He must have wanted to die so much that he secretly cut off his own heart meridian."

Chu Yuan said in his heart.

The two young monks who had just executed the precepts stood aside with their heads down, not daring to say anything, as if they had committed some serious mistake.

Xu Zhu suffered a series of blows, and after seeing this scene, he could no longer bear it and burst into tears.

"Brother Abbot is dead. Are Boss Qiao and Young Master Chu satisfied with the outcome of our Shaolin's decision?"

Xuan Ku said to Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan turned around. Judging from the hostile and cold looks from the monks around him, after this incident, the friendship between the Beggars' Sect and the Shaolin Temple might have completely cooled.

Even Qiao Feng's master Xuan Ku was resentful towards him and Qiao Feng and ridiculed them with words, not to mention other people in Shaolin Temple.

"Just as Abbot Xuanci said, evil deeds bring evil consequences. Now that Abbot Xuanci is dead, the cause and effect are settled."

Chu Yuan said.

"Someone, come and collect the remains for Brother Abbot."

After hearing what Chu Yuan said, Xuan Ku gave orders to the other Shaolin disciples around him.

Immediately, a group of young Shaolin disciples came over and carried away Xuanci's deceased body.

"Is Xuanci a good guy or a bad guy?"

Chu Yuan looked at Xuan Ci who was carried away by Shaolin disciples, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground. He asked himself this question in his heart.

"He is neither a good person nor a bad person. He is just an ordinary person who is a little cowardly and cannot let go of fame and fortune, and even more so, the reputation of Shaolin."

After thinking for a moment, Chu Yuan had the answer in his mind.

People’s inner world is sometimes very complicated and cannot be simply defined as good or evil.

After Xuan Ci discovered that Qiao Feng's parents were killed by them by mistake, someone suggested killing Qiao Feng so that the matter would be put to an end.

However, Xuan Ci rejected everyone's opinion and gave Qiao Feng to Qiao Sanhuai and his wife who lived at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain to raise.

Later, he asked Xuan Ku to accept him as his disciple and teach him martial arts.

This is the kindness in Xuan Ci's heart.

But later on, he knew that Ye Erniang was doing evil in the martial arts world, but because he could not let go of his fame and fortune as the abbot of Shaolin, he watched Ye Erniang do evil for decades.

There is a saying that goes, tolerating evil is the same as committing evil.

It seems that Xuanci is guilty of a serious crime.

Because of this, after learning that Chu Yuan had killed Ye Erniang, he did not even think of fighting Chu Yuan and avenging Ye Erniang.

But now that Xuan Ci is dead, everything in the past has been wiped out.

"Master, the three donors are heading towards the Sutra Library."

As soon as the Shaolin disciples collected Xuanci's body, a Shaolin monk who had been keeping an eye on Qiao Feng, Xiao Yuanshan and Murong Bo came out to report. Just as everyone was preparing to head to the Shaolin Temple's Scripture Library,

Boom boom!

At the foot of Mount Shaoshi, there was a roar like thunder.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that the earth dragon is turning over?"

"No, if it was a dragon turning over, we wouldn't have felt the ground shaking."

The people in the martial arts world were puzzled and discussed the matter.

"Oh no! It's Xixia Yipintang. Xixia Yipintang has brought a large army and surrounded Shaoshi Mountain."

Just when everyone was puzzled, not long after, a Shaolin monk who was guarding the foot of the mountain displayed his lightness skills and ran up the mountain path as light as a swallow, shouting as he ran.

"Xixia Yipintang?"

"This is the territory of the Song Dynasty!"

"Xixia dares to use a large army to besiege Shaolin. Does it want to go to war with the Song Dynasty?"

Someone questioned.

"It is indeed the army of Xixia Yipintang. Judging from the number of people, there are at least two to three thousand people."

Chu Yuan's ears trembled slightly. He heard the sound of a large number of horse hooves coming from the foot of Shaoshi Mountain. It sounded like cavalry, not ordinary infantry.

Chu Yuan's words made those who had doubts just now believe it immediately.

After Qiao Feng and his son and Murong Bo left, Chu Yuan was the person with the highest martial arts skills here.

Groan!
At this moment, the sound of birds singing like a phoenix came from the foot of the mountain, thirteen times in a row.

When Tianshan Tonglao heard this voice, her face changed. After making sure that she heard it correctly, she walked to Chu Yuan's side.

Tianshan Tonglao said to Chu Yuan with a serious expression: "The phoenix is ​​calling in the sky, thirteen shots, these are the thirteen phoenix arrows representing the arrival of the Queen of Xixia, my senior sister is here."
